IE9: We may be faster, but we're still the slowest.
I've been using CoPilot since the week it was released and I really do like it. I haven't personally used TomTom or Navigon (the two "heavy hitters" - read "really expensive apps"), but the update is a nice touch, especially for the QWERTY! (Sweet roast beef that was frustrating to use in alpha mode.)

I can't wait for text-to-speech to land, I'll certainly pay the premium upgrade for it and still be under the costly GPS apps!

The maps for my area are okay, but there are some old streets still missing. Seems everyone has this complaint.
Cool but that fricking spacebar is set for pause instead of drop. I'm used to the down arrow being "accelerate" so I kept screwing it up.
This comes a week after I paid the $10 to update my wife's Touch to 3.0.1. Thanks Apple. :rolleyes:
+1 for Undercover. I have no fear now and it's a one-time purchase!
I bought CoPilot last week and gave it a thorough work-out on a trip from Vancouver to Portland. The maps (for the most part) are up-to-date; my friend's house is in a subdivision which is less than 2 years old and all the roads in the are were available. I did find that many POIs were wrong, missing or outdated.

I haven't purchased the other navi apps to do a side-by-side comparison but from the videos I've watched online, reviews and articles I've read, I'm quite happy with CoPilot over the other apps which are 2-3x the price.

One of the major things for me is the Text-to-Speech which will be coming soon as an add-on (pay?) but will certainly be worthwhile.

I had a couple of problems with the app and there are a few bugs I'll certainly be submitting (such as the software's inability to figure out if you've already been to a stop on a multi-stop route) but from the note in the app store, some of my frustrations (like the alphabetic keyboard) are already being addressed in an upcoming release.

I've got faith in this low-price software and I found it very easy to use. Now if they'd just add a page to control my music ala MotionX, we'd be set!
I pay $30/mo for my 6GB plan. I use less than 100MB/mo under normal iPhone usage, that leaves me with 5.9GB unused every month. I bought my iPhone last September so that means I've used around 53 of the 54GB traffic I've paid for, nowhere near the "limit". I plan on tethering and no, I don't want their "free" RocketStick (which they called me about on a promo call last week, thanks for nothing Rogers) when I already have a perfectly good iPhone and a data plan that can do the same thing. If Rogers starts billing me extra for the ability to do so, I'm going to call them up and tell them to go fvck themselves.
Awesome game, wish it were longer / more complicated.
They do, it's called ToneBoard.
It's one thing to force a change on users, it's another when the users revolt and you don't listen. If it's so bad that 94% of respondents dislike the changes, fix it!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
